[{"type":"text","content":"Singapore, June 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 8i Acquisition 2 Corp. (the “Company” or “LAX”) (NASDAQ: LAX), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, and EUDA Health Limited (“EUDA Health”), a Singapore-based digital health platform that aims to make healthcare more affordable, accessible, and improve the patient experience by delivering improved outcomes through personalized healthcare, today announced an amendment to the Share Purchase Agreement (the “SPA Amendment”) to, among other things, reduce the consideration payable by LAX to EUDA Health, and limit the earn-out payment available to the seller of EUDA Health in connection with the Share Purchase.
